You are 19 and convicted of DUI for the first time. According to the Zero Tolerance section, how long is your license suspension?
-
A.
Six months
-
B.
One year Correct
-
C.
30 days
-
D.
90 days
The answer is "One year"
A first-offense under-21 DUI carries a one-year license suspension, along with jail time of 2 days to 6 months and a $500 to $5,000 fine. D lifts the up-to-90-day ARD figure from the facing page and treats it as the penalty for a straight conviction that never entered the diversion program.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Six months
Six months is the maximum jail term, not the license suspension length. This answer grabs the top of the two-days-to-six-months jail range in the same sentence and reads that number as the driving penalty instead of the incarceration cap.
C. 30 days
The 30-day figure does not appear with the Zero Tolerance penalty, which sets a full year. This answer reaches for the smallest number on the hunch that a first-time minor offender should get the lightest hit on the list.
D. 90 days
The 90-day figure is the ARD license loss on the facing page, not the penalty for a Zero Tolerance conviction. This answer borrows the up-to-90-day ARD figure sitting on the facing page and applies it to a straight conviction that never went through the diversion program.
